Our Transforming Cities podcast was created with the goal of prompting new conversation and insight around the urban industry. Since its inception, Transforming Cities has been able to tell the stories of almost 20 individuals across the CRE and urban landscape. Podcast listeners have gotten to know these thought leaders both professionally and personally, giving them much more to take away than the average sound bite.
These conversations with thought leaders has led to a greater awareness of how urban space is evolving at all levels. One of the most impactful ways we can learn about urban space is through talented people first hand. Because there isn’t a lot of free flowing spoken content in the CRE and urban space, Authentic Form & Function felt the tug to ensure everyone could learn and grow from these stories that us and thought leaders are able to share.
Because of this, we are excited to announce the arrival of the next season!
